All those in the & connected to the Social Progressive Democrat "movement" busy counting chickens as it relates to '18 & '20 would do well to pause and at least consider the possibility that "loud & proud" is not likely to be an accurate polling metric...

And VDH is currently the absolute best at clearly describing & cateloging the hypocricies foisted upon us by the UniParty, their satellite fish style "identity" interest groups & the ever diligent shapers of "reality"...the BHG legacy media....

Even if all of that was true Trump would still be an impotent loser. And a rigged system would still be better than Bannonism. Jesus, things were just not that bad before the GOP decided to ruin the country.

Hyperbole, much?

How about Trumpy's new besties...."Chuck & Nancy"....? Makin' deals & gettin' it done...

What did you expect. If racism and xenophobia could have carried him through the Democratic primaries he'd be a donkey. And what's the GOP's plan? Shut down the government while we try to rebuild after two huge hurricanes.

The GOP doesn't believe in "deals". They are going to have to realize that Trump cares about no one but himself. And he loves the camera and adulation. Yes, he is a racist, but he also knows that he can only ride the NAZI train so long before the adoring crowds.....even his "fans"....start getting on with life and looking at him in their rearview mirror.

The rest of us don't have the luxury of living 24/7 Twitter lives and once he feels like he is being ignored & "old news"....he will do anything he has to (including "deals" with Democrats) to get the country once again focused on Donald J. Trump.

The moderate R's did this to themselves; McCain got his "screw you" vote moment...& it led to Trumpy embracing his Northeast liberal roots again. Thise guys are shocked...shocked!....? Please...in his way he begged for their support & the cool kid moderates left a guy starving for a win hanging...its their own fault.

In another way...its a fairly astute move insofar as what exactly is happening right now; right this minute. Harvey, & now Irma + Jose is getting noisy too...& the squishy UniParty R's in the Senate were forecasting loudly another "step on their own cranks" moment, (18 month C/R...to take THEM through the next election...seriously?), so instead of that embarrassment in the face of natural disasters he headed them off at the pass. I hate that had to happen that way, but in my view, thats what went down.

This is pretty good MJ, not a lot to dispute.

Except the whole racism & nazi thing is just too dumb for a guy such as yourself to peddle. You didn't need a leftist meme to make your point; your point would have stood on its own without it...
